I can assume that you mean Sea Foam, the motor treatment. The stuff doesn't work particularly well, but it does pump a lot of smoke out your tailpipe.

They claim that you can dump 1/3 in the crank case (like adding oil), 1/3 in the fuel tank, and 1/3 through the intake. You don't have to do it through the intake, but here's how:

Locate your throttle body (where your air filter leads to - if you need help finding this, have someone step on the gas with the car off, you'll see a cable) Here you'll see some wires and some tubes.

Trace one of the tubes to a clip or junction on the firewall and unclip it with a pair of pliers.

Insert a funnel into the tube, start up the engine (it will run horribly) and slowly add the Sea Foam over the course of 2-3 minutes. If the engine tries to stall out, give it some gas (you can twist the throttle by hand, remember that cable that moved when someone stepped on the gas?). You should see some smoke come from the tailpipe, this is normal.

Rev up the engine - not too high! Keep doing this until the smoke stops pouring out of the tailpipe.

buy a can of sea foam motor treatment at a auto parts store pour it in the gas tank with at least a half tank of gas disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 15 seconds reconnect, than start car and drive it should solve problem with hesitation if the problem comes back check for a bad injector are fouled spark plug, you should put sea foam or other brands of injector cleaner fuel conditioner in your gas every other fill up ethanol gas fouls plugs and causes injectors to clog because of the carbon that it forms on your pistons valves and intake runners, sea foam will cure this problem

If it sounds like a rapid tapping (like someone is using a small hammer to hit the engine block really fast) then you probably have spark knock. It happens to older engines. As the engine gets older, carbon builds up inside the combustion chamber and effectively increases the compression ratio. Since you are using low octane fuel, it doesn't resist spark knock as well as high octane (this is a reason performance cars use high octane) and thus you get spark knock. An easy way to tell for sure it to run a tank or two of 91 or better octane through. Since you'll be mixing it with 87 octane, it could take two fill-ups to see a result. If the knock goes away, then you know it is spark knock. If not, or the knock I described is not what you hear, then I would need a better description (perhaps a video) of the sound you hear. If it is spark knock, you can run a cleaner through (Sea Foam works great) the engine and that usually fixes spark knock. Sea Foam works best when given to the engine through a vacuum line. Don't add too much at once, it will hydro lock the engine. Just let it **** in a bit and when the idle comes back up, put a bit more in. I would pour half the can in the tank and feed the other half to the engine through the vacuum line. Be prepared, when you feed it to the engine through the vacuum line, it is going to smoke a lot until it burns off the Sea Foam. That is normal and will go away after a short drive.

How much gas is in the tank? Is the gas old? If you only have a few gallons in the tank i would advise you to put 5 gals of fresh gas and a bottle of sea foam gas addititve.. if you gas is old it starts to turn to varnish and gets sticky, it smells really bad too.Go to auto zone or wal mart to get the sea foam and add it to a five gallon gas can then add your fresh gas into you car tank..You can also get the sea foam in a spraycan form that you can spray directly into your air intake..Can you hear if the fuel pump is running? Take your gas cap off and put your ear up to the filler tube to see if you can hear you fuel pump working, it sounds like a high pitch whinning sound..Have someone turn the key on while you listen for it..

the data for the code should show if the misfire is registering at idle or at a higer RPM. This is needed to know what could cause it. I hope that someone at least replaced the spark plugs so far. Next guess would be a intake gasket leak or a defective injector. If its running rough at idle start unplugging one coil or injector at a time. The engine should stumble a little if the cylinder is ok. If one does not change the idle at all then that cylinder is the one in question. Only options would be a defective injector, a defective coil, a vacuum leak on the intake, a bad spark plug, or a bad valve.

there might be a problem in your fuel line. try buying a can of sea foam [Red and white bottle.Available at any auto place. Around $9]. pouring about half in the tank and the other half thru a line in your brake booster or another vacuum line. the line will be under the hood to the very top right. it should be black, round, and two lines coming out of it. do this with the car running so maybe have someone else hold the gas to about 1500 RPM. Slowly drip the sea foam in until it almost dies then put your thumb on the line to keep it running. keep doing that until the can is almost or fully empty. Let the car sit for about 5 mionutes then start the car and keep the RPMs to about 2 grand. There will be smoke fromt the exhaust SO DONT WORRY! Just keep on the gas until the smokes clears. If that doesnt help let me know!

The EGR is located, in the 3.3L for sure, not sure about the 3.5, on the back of the engine, at the top, behind the hose that goes into the engine on the top back. It has the plastic part there, as well as the metal which is mounted on to the engine with 2 (i think 7/16, dont quote me) bolts holding it on. You have to remove the top of the engine, the shiny silver part to get to it.

HI, Ive just put a 2.6 4ze1 injected motor in a 95 rodeo in oz, the supply fuel pipe connects to the one sticking out at the front of the efi manifold next to the battery & air con hose! Make sure you have fuel in the tank, also you might have to prime the air out of the line by putting a rag around the hose & turning it over with your finger over it. Lightly releasing each time to let air escape until fuel comes out & being extremely careful for fire hazzard & to yourself!!! Then fit to manifold, the other pipe heading down under the manifold must be a vacum or tank breather hose? I hope this helps you GARYB in australia!!!

have a look on the canister if it has any fittings that are missing a vacum line from what i can remember most canisters have 3 lines 1 coming from the fuel tank 1 vacume coming from the engine(INLET MONIFOLD)1 coming out of canester out to the atmosphere,hope this helps..
